Vertase FLI Limited (VertaseFLI) has been appointed by Scotia Gas Networks Ltd (SGN) to their Land Remediation Works Framework. SGN is the UK's second largest gas distribution company, operating over 74,000 km of gas mains and services throughout Scotland as Scotland Gas Networks, and in the south of England as Southern Gas Networks. The framework has been created by SGN to address its statutory liability on sites being divested and to address the other ongoing liabilities associated with the land. The innovative approach to remediation will last for a period of 3 years and has been designed by SGN to deliver best value to their customers throughout. VertaseFLI have been chosen after a two stage tender process which aimed to find contractors that could best meet two core principles that had been identified by SGN:
- Actively engaging with and helping customers, the environment and local communities; and
- Demonstrating the highest standards of safety, reliability and efficiency.
The appointment continues VertaseFLI’s recent success at being appointed to high profile remediation contracting frameworks including the Environment Agency’s ‘National Remediation Contractors Framework’ and the National Grid’s 'Groundwater Remediation Framework'.
